MY CAR WAS ON PARK AND THE CAR KEPT GOING REVERSE. I PRESSED ON THE BRAKES AND PUT THE EMERGENCY BREAKS ON. NOW MY CAR IS STRANDED IN A STREET. I CALLED A COUPLE FORD DEALERSHIPS AND EITHER THEY HAD A 6 MONTH WAITLIST OR DON'T HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX THE CAR. NOW I'M STUCK PAYING OUT OF POCKET TO FIX IT BECAUSE I NEED MY CAR FOR WORK AND I CAN'T WAIT MONTHS TO FIX THE CAR OR BRING IT TO ANOTHER STATE TO GET IT POSSIBLE LOOKED AT. THEN I WOULD BE STRANDED IN ANOTHER STATE WITH NO CAR. THANKS FORD.
